I have now officially become a snot factory! It’s Sunday night and all the ‘40-Day Rejuvenation’ people are supposed to meet at 6:30. We’re in the midst of packing, I’m dealing with a cold and MJ and I are in foul moods. I tell MJ I’m going to skip the meeting, but he tells me I should go. He knows I’m practically a third of the way through this thing and I need to be consistent (either that or he’s ready to get rid of me). But it’s cold and I’m snotty and it’s raining (hmm, why would MJ ever want to get rid of me?). I get to the studio and we all talk about what our expectations are for the next week: more meditation, yoga practices, and Life Coach Trudi’s homework. Great. I already feel behind.

Questions:

1.What is the “something more” for me? (what??)
2. Who am I at my very best? (I dunno). Sometimes I feel like I’m just doing this yoga thing so I can score the free organic fruit and the yummy chocolate-covered nuts. Do I really have to think? And by the way, I’m still waiting for my sweet yoga ass to emerge!

But I digress. We talk more with each other about proud moments we’ve experienced in our lifetimes and get more encouragement regarding the process we are experiencing (apparently I’m not the only one who thinks about donuts while meditating), and we take off. As we’re all leaving, a light rain has started and the air is chilly, but there is a beautiful double rainbow in the sky. Rainbows signify new beginnings and lord, if I ever needed one, it’s now. We all need new beginnings, a fresh place to start over, and I’m always grateful to get a nudge from nature.
